I just sand blasted the Ol' Wilton. I then was just going to 3M disc it to smooth it out, and leave it natural. But I decided I really didn't care for what I was seeing after I got done. So I remembered that I had some Plastikote ''Cast Finish'' I had used years ago on a 67 Elcamino project...

Is anyone repopping these rubber cushions. Or can you just go to the hardware store and get a ** size o ring. What are you guys using. Thanks

I'm not going to get too excited about this one. It's had a rough life. I stopped by a buddies mechanic shop today. I noticed he had a nice new shiny chiawonease 5'' vise sitting there. I asked him did he know where there where any other vise at. He said no. But I could have his old one. The...

1968 Wilton C1 resoration begins. NOW COMPLETE!! OK. I'm sure you guys have seen my other threads. Well I'm moving forward with the resto now so I'm doing a resto thread. I got this 1968 C1 off of craigslist for $150. :p Pic 1 is how it looked when I got it. Just really needs a good bath, some...

Well I hope this is an old one. I can't find any reference to the numbers I'm seeing except C1. And it looks like you can buy those new for a mere $1000. So this popped up on craigslist and I was on it like stink on ****. I was the first caller. :p I tried to negotiate price, but he wouldn't...

All specs being equal let's say, and the same price, which of these two vices would you rather have. Let's say something in the medium size range. Old stuff of course. I'm really liking the Rock Island. But that just maybe showing my ignorance. :rolleyes:

I guess title says it. A guy has a Rock Island No 57. He swears there's not another number. I googled it and came up with nothing. He said he did the same thing. Anyone heard of a NO 57. Or could it be a number got left off. Could it be a 574. What would be a good price. He was asking $200...

I found this 4-1/2'' Columbian local. I can get it for $45 with a mini vice thrown in. I don't really need it. What's it worth. Is it something I could try to sell and make a buck or 2 to go towards something good. Again. I know nothing about vise's. To me. It looks too new to be special,,,, lol.

I just picked this up off of craigslist. I've been looking for a long time for something decent. Well I took a gamble on this for $25. It is really heavy, and seems well made. The guy was only asking $25 for it. I didn't have the heart to bust him down any. It looks like a good vise for $25...

So I got me a Harbor Freight parts washer. I went to Tractor Supply and got the TSC-1000 petroleum based solution that I had read so much about. Well I gotta tell ya. I was not impressed. Especially for the $80 I spent for it. I wanted a miracle. :D On top of that, my pump worked 1 night with...

Hey Guy's. Just stumbled across the forum. I could spend the rest of my life reading here. :D So anyway. I bought a Speedaire 60 gal air compressor for $50. The guy swore "It runs. It just won't build pressure". I figured the tank was worth that,,, I hope. Here's what I found. So I...
